Upgrade to 3.11, much fucking better.

Windows 7 is the best, in terms of resource management and speed on older / lesser hardware. Great OS!

According to DV, Vista is so bloated, it takes 4 MB of his RAM just for AERO!! He never seemed to learn the concept of Superfetch.

Whats your issue with networking dingo_d? Due to instability issues I have when using Sun's own network driver for VirtualBox, I disable the option for "VirtualBox Networking" when installing. Networking functions fine without it.

It wouldn't access the "outside" network - I couldn't connect to the net. Also My virtual XP couldn't see the real comp. But I guess I didn't set the proper options, I've just installed it 'on the fly' just to see if it would run, and that it did. I was used to VMware point and click Smile

so I just clicked all and voila Very Happy

But I just installed it for Guitar Rig4, which doesn't want to run properly on 7 Confused

To get an XP machine to see a Vista/7 one, you need to make sure the XP one has LLTD installed http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4F01A31D-EE46-481E-BA11-37F485FA34EA&displaylang=en

So what apps DONT work with windows7? I need every single app of mine to work with it orelse its useless. I need FlashFXP to work, I need NewzbinPRO to work, I need HyperSnap to work, I need Winamp to work, I need Stunnel 4.26 to work. I need Remind-me to work. I need WII backup Manager to work. I have a strong hunch not everything is compatible. If you say every single app works fine from XP - then I will upgrade.
